2021 Fantasy Outlook
One of the more unique players in the class, Wagner's length and intangibles are the primary traits that made him a top-10 pick. Wagner averaged a well-rounded 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 block as a sophomore at Michigan last season. He's far from a traditional playmaker, but Wagner's passing is well-above-average for his age and size. He also profiles as a potentially elite defender capable of shadowing opposing big men and sticking with guards at the rim. Wagner will have more competition for playing time than fellow-rookie Jalen Suggs - including from his older brother, Moritz - but if the minutes are there, he could be one of the most well-rounded rookies in the class. Still, Wagner is probably a year away from warranting draft consideration in standard formats. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Franz Jacob Wagner was born in August 2001 in Berlin, Germany. He is the son of Beate Wagner and Axel Schulz. Wagner joined Germany's Alba Berlin side in 2018 and won the BBL Best Young Player Award. He committed to play for the University of Michigan, where his older brother, Moritz, played. The forward averaged 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 27 games during his 2019-20 NCAA season. He was named to the 2020 Big Ten All-Freshman team. Wagner improved during his sophomore campaign by averaging 12.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 28 games during the 2020-21 NCAA season. He was an integral member of a Wolverines team that advanced into the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.

Wagner was selected eighth overall by the Orlando Magic.

Dishes 10 assists in loss
FOrlando Magic
January 12, 2022
Wagner logged 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Wagner's previous season high for assists was six, but he crushed that total Wednesday to record the second double-double of his rookie season. He'll attempt to continue his strong debut campaign during the back-to-back set versus Charlotte and Dallas on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
